Abstract
Disclosed are a virtual golf simulation apparatus in which an image of a ball hit by a user using virtual golf simulation, who swings a golf club to hit the ball, is acquired, and the ball is found from the acquired image to calculate the moving trajectory of the ball, thereby realizing a simulation image of the trajectory of the ball, and, particularly, in which the two-dimensional trajectory of ball candidates, determined as a ball, in an image acquired by the camera is analyzed to accurately and rapidly extract the ball, thereby accurately and rapidly calculating information on physical properties of the moving ball even using a camera having a low resolution and velocity, and a sensing device and method used for the same.
